4	Created by Creator/EthanVanSciver, ''Cyberfrog'' is an independent comic book series telling the adventures on Earth of an anthropomorphic, sentient frog with mutant superpowers.
5
6	It originally appeared in 1994 published by Hall of Heroes comics. ''Cyberfrog'' appeared irregularly until around 1999, when Van Sciver put the series on indefinite hiatus after finally getting steadier and more lucrative work as an artist for [[Creator/DCComics DC]] and [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] Comics.
7
8	In 2018, fresh out of DC Comics, the author decided to resurrect ''Cyberfrog'' as a crowdfunding project in a multi-part series with the first being titled ''Cyberfrog: Bloodhoney'', which for a while held the record for a successfully crowd-funded comic book. After several delays it was finally distributed to the project’s backers by late 2019.
9	----
10	!!''Cyberfrog'' contains examples of:
11
12
13	* AffectionateNickname: Heather Swain calls Cyberfrog ''froggie''
14	* TheAllegedHouse: The title character squats in an abandoned building.
15	* {{BFG}}: Occasionally the title character will resort to this.
16	* BigApplesauce: Work is set in New York City. Perhaps justified as the author was raised in nearby {{Joisey}}
17	* BloodierAndGorier: What? In a comic book illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver? Nooo...
18	* BreakingTheFourthWall: The protagonist will occasionally do this when he's alone.
19	* DownerEnding: ''Bloodhoney'' ends with Cyberfrog waking up in a BadFuture where the Vyzpzz has all but conquered the Earth, Salamandroid missing, and only a few pockets of humanity remaining.
20	* FashionDissonance: InUniverse; Heather Swain is derided because her fashion style is [[TheEighties ten years out of date]]
21	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Cyberfrog and Salamandroid started life as an ordinary frog and salamander respectively. After receiving superpowers by mistake, they become this for villains.
22	* GiantPoofySleeves: An odd example as Cyberfrog’s shoulders are covered by what seem to be metal armor balls.
23	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: All the mutant critters including the protagonist himself, tend towards this.
24	* {{Gorn}}: Galore. The comic can be quite graphic on this department.
25	* HordeOfAlienLocusts: The Vyzpzz.
26	* ImAHumanitarian: Ben Riley.
27	* InTheBlood: Ben Riley's power is hereditary.
28	* TheNineties: Soooooooo-freaking-much. The pop-culture references in the original comic books are all over the place at breakneck speed.
29	* NinetiesAntiHero: Considering it was done in TheNineties by an author fond of BloodierAndGorier scenes, this goes without saying.
30	* ParentalObliviousness: Ben Riley's mom... she's not even aware his son has not been home for weeks, limiting herself to pile his clean laundry by his room door.
31	* PunnyName: ''Salamandroid'', ''Rumblebee'', ''Traumadeus''...
32	* SceneryPorn: All that detail in the drawings…
33	* SnarkToSnarkCombat: A recurring thing during fights.
34	* StarterVillain: Spite and Device are the first foes he comes across.
35	* SuperheroPackingHeat: Cyberfrog acquires guns as he evolves.
36	* TalkLikeAPirate: Rumblebee’s trope.
37	* UselessAccessory: Cyberfrog's UtilityBelt, at least thus far...
38	* WickedWasps: Part of the villainous mooks during the ''Reservoir Frog'' saga.
39	* WouldHitAGirl: Ben Riley, and that’s when he’s being nice…
40	** Cyberfrog hits a histerical old lady who just won't shut up.
